Quick travel: The poor little thing in the period novel strikes back

"The total is one thousand two hundred and forty-eight. I'll give you one thousand two hundred and four."

Before collecting the money, the old Chinese doctor instructed the land official to pack the medicine for a course of treatment. He looked at the brown paper medicine bags piled up in front of him and the young wife's slender hand on his arm.

The word "expensive" was swallowed directly into his stomach.

"Okay, isn't it just over a thousand? Take the money!"

He took out his wallet from his pocket and handed the money that had been in his wallet for a long time to save face to the old Chinese doctor with a painful look. After the old Chinese doctor slowly found the money, he motioned for Xiao Liu to get the medicine, and then took Shi Yan to the car without saying a word.

"Brother Hao, what's wrong? Why do you seem unhappy?"

Shi Yan moved in the opposite direction of Sun Hao, looking scared and worried.

"How come? I just feel a little tired. I'll go back to the company and take a rest later."

"Why are you sitting so far away! Come to me. You are weak. I will carry you off the bus later. You don't have to work recently. Take care of your health first."

There was one more thing Sun Hao didn't say, which was: It is best to get a course of medicine to cure your body, so that you can spend less money.

"Brother Hao, if I don't work, who will take care of the laundry, cooking, cleaning, and the flowers in the yard? Should we hire a nanny?"

Hire a babysitter? Impossible.

"No, I can do it. There are only two of us in my family. How can I not do this little job? Don't worry, I will take care of you during your recovery."

Xiao Liu parked the car in front of the company. Sun Hao directly carried Shi Yan out of the car, then, with a very serious expression, he carried Shi Yan across the hall again and went up the stairs back to the office.

But compared to the quietness in the morning, there were a lot more people in the company at this moment. Not only were there several guests talking in the reception area in the lobby, but there were also several people sitting in the sales office area on the second floor.

Everyone knew Sun Hao's face, and as employees, it was their duty to greet the boss when he passed by. But when there was someone in the boss's arms, everyone seemed a little at a loss as to what to do.

Finally, it was not until Sun Hao carried the person into the office that people started whispering.

"Who is the boss holding in his arms? Could it be his wife?"

"I don't know either, but the boss is already 28, so it's normal for him to be married. But their relationship is too good to be true. He carried her all the way up the stairs."

"Hehe, maybe the boss made me tired yesterday..."

Several male salesmen in charge of business in the company were staring straight in the direction of the third floor, discussing the two people who had just passed by.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think you can just talk about the boss's business? No wonder the performance is so poor, even a female comrade like me can't compare with it. It turns out that you just spend your time gossiping!"

The person who was speaking was a young woman in her twenties, dressed smartly, with shoulder-length hair. Her tone was extremely arrogant, and her eyes were full of disdain as she looked at the three people who were talking.

However, although the woman looked very imposing, the three people who were being talked about did not buy it.

"Su Feifei, we are both salespeople, so stop acting like a leader here."

"You said you have done a good job and are considered the boss's right-hand man. Then do you know who the boss is holding in his arms?"

"If you don't know, then stop preaching. After all, you are no different from us. Unlike Brother Liu, he is the boss's confidant."

The man's words made Su Feifei so angry that she stomped her feet. She glared at the three men fiercely, but her eyes unconsciously turned to the third floor. She looked at the boss's office on the third floor for a while before she spoke slowly.

"The boss is young and promising, and he's good-looking too. There are a lot of women who like him, and naturally there are some who are shameless enough to throw themselves at him. How can someone like this, who throws herself into the boss's arms regardless of the occasion, be a good person?"

"Humph!"

Su Feifei snorted with disdain. She didn't believe that Sun Hao would fall for such a superficial woman. Even if this woman was brought to the boss's side, it was just a show. The boss appreciated capable and independent women. Only such women could keep up with the boss's pace.

"You'd better not say anything about wife or not. You're ruining the boss's reputation."

After saying this, Su Feifei went downstairs directly. She had an appointment for a big project today. If she could negotiate it, her boss would definitely look at her with admiration.

Shi Yan and Sun Hao were completely unaware of the conversation going on on the second floor, because at the moment they were tinkering with the radio together.

The reason why this happened was that Sun Hao didn't have to go to the construction site to inspect, and there was no big order that required the boss to show up, so after he signed a few small orders sent to him by his subordinates, he had nothing to do.

Just then he looked up and saw Shi Yan also looking bored. If he was alone, he would just pull a few employees up to play cards, but now that his wife was here, he had to hide this little hobby.

"Brother Hao, is there really someone telling stories on this radio?"

Shi Yan pretended to be an novice, with hazy eyes, and touched the radio casing again and again.

"Of course. I'll tune it for you now. There's a channel that's talking about Journey to the West. I guarantee you'll like it."

Sun Hao's movements were not very skillful. He had heard the broadcast of Journey to the West on Xiao Liu's car radio two days ago. However, he had a quick mind and a good memory since he was a child, so he remembered which channel it was.

So even though the radio was bought to show off when the company was first established, with his efforts, the man's lively and interesting storytelling soon spread:

"It is said that after the four masters and apprentices arrived at the Kingdom of Daughters..."

Shi Yan had watched the TV series of Journey to the West countless times since she was a child, but this was her first time listening to the storytelling version. This experience was very novel, and Shi Yan soon became fascinated by the story. The atmosphere in the office was no longer as quiet and slightly awkward as before.

Shi Yan and Sun Hao listened to the radio in the office for the whole afternoon, then had dinner at the construction site before taking a bus home.

Faced with a trash can full of broken porcelain pieces and a pot of sour noodles that had not been cleaned out, the heartache that had been cured by Journey to the West came back to me, and I looked at the Chinese medicine I bought today.

Now the only word flying through Sun Hao's mind is "money".

"Brother Hao, can you help me decoct the medicine? I can't see and I'm afraid of dropping things again." Shi Yan came to the outside of the kitchen and spoke in a soft voice.

"Don't worry, take good care of yourself, I'll make you some medicine."

When Sun Hao saw his young wife appear, he immediately forgot about the money. After all, the money had already been spent, and there was no point in worrying about it now. He could only try to cure his young wife as soon as possible, as curing the illness was equivalent to saving money.

"Brother Hao, can you please boil some hot water? I've been wearing a coat all day and I'm sweating. I need to take a good shower."

It is already October, and although the temperature in the morning and evening is only around 20 degrees, which is quite comfortable, the original owner's health is too poor. He went to the hospital and then went to a Chinese medicine clinic, and he still sweated a little along the way.

When he heard that his young wife needed to take a good bath, Sun Hao's eyes became a little uncontrollable. He looked up and down at his young wife, and then his hands moved faster.
